Ebb and Flow

In many cities throughout the world, the relationship between cities and rivers plays a fundamental impact on urban development and civilization. Although this relationship was initially built upon the logistic needs of new settlements, with time it became barriers and borders of urbanization, social classes, culture, and art.

As a common practice, cities were built only on one side of the river as a defense frontier and the other side was assigned as agricultural land. After the Industrial Revolution, this side of the river had a spotlight on it to become factory sites and accommodation for workers. Today, “the other side of the river” is going through another flux of change, losing its historical texture and existence.

This exhibition examines “the other sides” of three European cities that are divided by a body of water. These major cities were selected based on their certain similarities and qualities as regional cultural hubs, and presented as a research project to local photographers, leaving the choice of focal point to their personal impressions of the city. As a result, the exhibition presents the last sandcastles of Almada - Lisbon captured by Vilmanté Lokcikaité, unsettled beaches of Kilyos- Istanbul by Ali Arif Soydaş, and true waterfront of Belgrade, Ada Međica, by Nađa Kračunović.
